The Before
Every legendary night starts somewhere. Discover the perfect spots to set the mood — from stunning rooftop sunsets to intimate cocktail bars.
In Marrakech, the night doesn't start at midnight. It begins with the golden hour — watching the sun set over the Atlas Mountains, sipping craft cocktails on a rooftop terrace, and letting the city's magic slowly take hold. This is The Before.
